New fire leads to evacuations in Digier Canyon near I-5

By THE BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIAN

A rapidly spreading fire led to mandatory evacuations in Digier Canyon Tuesday morning, near where another blaze broke out Friday.

Kern County Fire spokesman Corey Wilford said the fire had grown to about 50 acres since 8:30 a.m. and more resources were being brought to the area off Interstate 5 south of the Fort Tejon Road offramp. Some of those resources were being called back after leaving the Rancho Fire, which has been fully contained after scorching more than 700 acres since Friday.
